To launch Reed Krakoff’s brand new eponymous line, all three floors of the Galerie Karsten Greve were filled with his bags and ready-to-wear collection. “This art space is incredible, you’d never find it in New York,” said Krakoff, best known for revitalizing Coach, the American leather goods company.
